This is that Nuke Surge Tank going in, does not block access to the Attesa reserve or anything else, it is 3lt but compact enough :)

That's a good looking bit of kit Pete, looks similar in many ways to the Aftermarket Industries ones.

Jez was pretty impressed with it and it will be interesting to see how it performs :)

You're shitting us right ??

Yes, get a bit sick of some blokes wanting things to go tits up ( sometimes just a stir , all good :yes: ) because they do not like what you want from your car or feel what you want is unrealistic , shit, thats what we all try to do, get what we personally want from our cars , matters not what it is and you do not have to agree with what the next bloke wants or how many $$$$s he spends to get it :)

Shit I have seen some blokes have spent $200,000 on their car over some years and sell them for $85k ?

I have no idea if I will get exactly what I want but it is pretty close already :)

I think you need to take it all into consideration, as in how this thread started and now the direction of which it is heading.

And did the head gasket really let go? I cant read sarcasm

haha , I know where the thread went, all over the place when the topic went tits up once I drove the car home and there were problems.

The posts had some opinions on the problems and went off topic while waiting for work to be carried out , bit of shit stiring, some smart arse comments but just a bit of fun :)

Then after a few attempts to retune it that did not work, I then waited 3 months to get the car in to get the problems sorted, another month to have the work done, then I thought it would be over but it was still not 100% .

The work was not finished as there were a couple of things I wanted done including a retune, to me the tune was not as it should be, I was lucky Mick came up and drove the car and agreed that there were some things that needed to be looked at.

The tune is aggressive with ignition , with slight detonation , running rich on idle and boost. Full boost is not until 4600rpm and power flat lines at 63000rpm @ 22psi. Am I happy with that, guess ?

But once the new work is completed, it will be looked at again , cam timing and tuned.

The good thing is this work will be paid for by the parts I sold from the old build before I bought the car :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
